I read this tutorial [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/kibana.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/kibana.html) and found that it's possible to use LDAP for authentication. But I din't know how to do it. Please explain me or give example about how to install and configure LDAP and how to use it with Kibana

After configuring LDAP ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/ldap-realm.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/ldap-realm.html)) you should be able to install the plugin into kibana ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/kibana.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/kibana.html)) and login.
